Dianthus

Spicy shades of pink and more!

Known as pinks, these long-blooming perennials actually come in a variety of colors, from white to deep maroon to orange. The brightly colored petals are intensely ruffled and have striking dentate margins, growing atop bushy masses of succulent blue-green foliage. Perennial pinks enjoy a well-earned reputation for their spicy fragrance. Hardy and long blooming, these plants are perennial in zone 5-9 and bloom from mid spring until fall, unless otherwise noted.
